As per the
report of The Hindu Business Line dated 29-2-2012, the Government will file a
review petition in the Supreme Court challenging its ruling that auction is the
only fair method for allocating natural resources and also questioning the
ruling of the Supreme Court against the First Come First Serve principle
followed in allotting spectrum. In short the Government is questioning the
reason of the Supreme Court for cancelling the 122 licenses!This decision of
the Government pleases the private telecom operators who acquired the spectrum
at dead cheap rates. The contention of the Government is that the policy making
is the jurisdiction of the Government and hence the Supreme Court should not
question what ever the policy made by the Government , even if it results in
looting of our natural resources by the Indian and foreign big capitalists.
Thus it is
clear that the Government wants the continuation of system of allotting the
valuable natural resources like minerals, ores, spectrum etc to the capitalists chosen by it at a throw
away price. This is nothing but the Government itself aiding and abetting the
looting of our natural resources by the Indian and Foreign big capitalists. Tata
Teleservices Limited has already filed a review petition in the Supreme Court
against the inclusion of 3 of its licenses( for 3 circles) for the 2G spectrum
among the 122 licenses to be cancelled.
The
Russian Company Systema JSFC, which is the partner in the telecom company
Systema Shyam(MTS) whose 21 licenses(for 21 circles) of 2G were cancelled by
the Supreme Court order, issued a notice to the Government of India stating
that such cancellation of license is against the obligations of the Government
of India under the Bilateral Investment Treaty(BIT) between India and Russia.
It threatened to to commence the proceedings against the Government of India
under the Conciliation Rules of the UN Commission On International Trade Law,
in case the dispute is not settled within 6 months. The DoT is consulting the
law ministry regarding this notice issued by Systema. Sistema Syam(MTS) also plans to file a review
petition in the Supreme Court against its judgment.
Other
telecom operatorslike Uninor, Lop etc whose licenses are cancelled, may also
resort to filing the review petition.
The Indian
and Foreign big capitalists looting our natural resources and the Government aiding it, will fight tooth
and nail against this judgment of the Supreme Court since it curtails this looting. Let us hope that their efforts will
become futile and they will get no order from the Supreme Court in their favour.
